My first self-made business cards
I made those out of A3 cardboard, added rivets, twined some red and white yarn and then perforated it. The stamp on the back is a stamp set with letters that you can set yourself.
It was a lot of fun doing these prototypes. As soon as I have settled with a logo and design for my company I will see that I can get them manufactured. As always, feedback is very much appreciated.

Wrist-Mounted Flamethrower Lets You Pretend To Be An X-Man [DIY]
PopoutPyro was never my favorite of the X-Men, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited about this DIY project allowing me to mimic his powers. It's called Prometheus, and it's by far one of the best wrist-mounted flamethrowers I've seen.
We've seen this guy's work before, but nothing actually produced such a controlled flame or came with building instructions as detailed as Everett Bradford's new Prometheus Device. And while I know that Pyro technically controls fire rather than actually making it, short of mutant genetics, this project is as close as we'll get. And it's damn awesome. [Prometheus via Make]

DIY - Banana Bread
Earlier this week I had one of those mornings when nothing seems to be going right. No matter how fast I went, there was no way I was making it to work on time. As I'm leaving the house I realize I forgot my breakfast. Rushing, I run into the kitchen, grab my weekly bunch bananas and pull off one of the fresh, just ripe pieces. Carelessly placing the rest of them on the island, when I accidentally dropped them on the floor. I thought they'd be slightly bruised by the time I got home but still edible. I never thought the yellow fruit would be completely smashed and almost black.
I was mad and I tweeted about. I know, it's petty, but hate wasting money and I like my daily dose of potassium lol.
Thanks to marciepry, melliemel321 and reneemca, who all suggested I take my bruised bananas and make banana-aid.. err, bread.
Anyone who knows me, knows I am *no* foodie. I can dig a little baking here and there, but have never attempted a bread. Not sure why I thought it was going to be difficult.. but I have to share this recipe because it was sooo easy and came out really well!
Ingredients
- 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed *I used 3 but will probably go with 5 next time*
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
- Mix in flour.
- Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Cool and remove from pan.
- Slice to serve.
Soo tasty! Thanks again, ladies!
